My basic idea is more how should I build the basics (wooden frame and main tracks) to be flexible for the next 20 minor modifications to change themes (semi) annually as I did it in the past.
I think I will stay with the basics as they are now. Staging yard at the north side (4 - 6 tracks), scenery layout at the south side (about 0.5m x 4.0m) and connections with hatches at the east (door) and west (balcony).
Two features in the wood work would be nice at the south side with scenery
- a channel 2" deep and 4" wide crossing the layout for a street below track level
- a strip 1m long at the very front lowered by 2" to be use as quay wall in a harbor theme.
Both can be filled with foam if not used.
We will come back to that discussion in Freelance 2018-1
